I just see another poorly disguised attack on men. Probably has a sub-clause in there, in tiny print, saying that they are only referring to white men.

Sorry, but I am fed up with this guff.

If you follow the theory through then presumably it was a male who first climbed down from a tree... a male that killed the first sabre-tooth tiger or hyena... If the females had their way we would all still be up in the tree. Maybe this report is merely women subconciously admitting their inferiority?

Not too bad... climbing down from a tree and before we knew it we were walking on the Moon.

Also this idea that women have better communications and people skills in the workplace is also complete and utter shite, if anything women keep up with men better in technical skills than soft skills.

speaking from the dark side, I do see this in the workplace. I've often been told that I "don't sell myself". I see it as not being a bull shitter. A lot of the blokes, not all but a lot, do bull shit their way through. When they have to actually deliver anything tangible they are at a complete loss.

There are more stupid men than stupid women, so the Dunning-Kruger effect will likely mean a bunch of those stupid men think too much of themselves.

But there are also more very smart men, than very smart women. So some of the averagely intelligent to smart women are correct to lack confidence. They're competing with people who are better than them.

Maybe blokes are expected to be more confident both by females and other males. Maybe this leads to them bullshitting more. It's certainly not the done thing for a bloke to appear weak or discuss their lack of confidence with his mates.

Also, I don't see a difference in confidence between young children (boys and girls).

If there are differences, I would argue strongly that it is environmental.

Something like aggression is highly influenced by physiology which is under genetic control. The environment makes a difference but we know from twin studies that innate differences are the major factor in how people turn out.

So a bunch of highly paid women - wonder how many have kids - are going to have a conference about how lack of confidence is holding women back?

Presumably they judge success by how much money you earn, how big your office and personal allowance is and how many people have to do what you say - what about pointless stuff about giving birth to, caring for and raising children.

When I worked in TV-land there were loads of women like this - the lowest ones were earning 2 or 3 times the average salary - and they would collectively have meetings where they would whinge about how hard life was for them because they were women being oppressed by men. Men were holding them back.

Truth, feckers had contempt for their own gender as much as they had for men.

Decades later and, whilst most of them are financially well off, nearly all are bitter, fecked up in the head, childless - tried the IVF route countless times, ridden the cock carousel till it broke down, etc - and still sprout the "Isn't Hillary Clinton the most wonderful human on the planet and I will shout at anyone who dares question her!" crap.

Most are still single. The ones who are not have feminised males as husbands.
